The Reborn Wife is Farming

As soon as Mu Yangling's recruitment notice was posted, there was not even a splash, because in this era, there are too few people who can farm but can read.

She had no choice but to invite two people to stand by and read and explain to everyone.

But the big guy didn't believe her recruitment, thinking that she was joking, a joke, and the matter of farming needs to be studied? Don't you know if you just drag a person in the field?

So although there were a lot of onlookers, no one came forward to announce the list, let alone sign up. This incident has become a joke that has been passed around in ten miles and eight towns.

Mu Yangling took the time to send Bowen and Xiuhong to Hanzhong Mansion, and asked them to follow Xiuhong to arrange the children's winter clothes. When they came back, no one revealed the list.

Just when Mu Yangling was wondering if he should try switching to Xingzhou Prefecture, Liu Ting came to him.

Liu Ting didn't go to the city very often, so he only found out what A Ling had done last night after hearing the discussion in the village. The elders in the family thought that A Ling was messing around, but Liu Ting was moved.

In the past two years, Ah Ling has always allocated a few acres of land for experiments. He knows it, because every time he farms the land, he will come to help. I thought, what A Ling said might be right, didn't people know how to plant before?

It was all figured out step by step. During Gaozong's time, although everyone had corn seeds, they buried them for nearly a hundred years because they didn't know how to plant them. If they could try to plant them in various ways like Ah Ling, after planting them Then think about the reasons for good harvest or poor harvest, disease or health. Has corn been planted long ago? Now, everyone will not be hungry when they encounter natural disasters. The worst situation is much better than now, right?

So Liu Ting and his cousin Liu Yuan talked and found him.

Liu Yuan also wanted to come, but he was stuck by something, so he had to ask his cousin first.

Shu Wanniang respected Liu Ting very much, after pouring him a cup of tea, she went to the kitchen to cook for him and let the two of them chat.

Liu Ting looked around and asked, "Where's your aunt?"

"My aunt can't be free, so she went to the backyard to take care of the vegetable patch."

Liu Ting nodded, "Is the food at home enough to eat? Not enough, then ask your aunt to pick a load for you."

Mu Yangling laughed and said, "My aunt not only planted vegetables in the yard behind the old house, but also the vegetable patch behind the old house, so there will be no shortage of vegetables at home, but there will be fewer varieties after winter. For a few days, I can only eat cabbage every day."

"What else can you eat if you don't eat cabbage in winter?" Liu Ting said nonchalantly, "After a while, uncle will repair the cellar for you. If you change some water frequently, the cabbage will dry slowly."

Mu Yangling nodded. Seeing that Liu Ting couldn't get down to business, he asked, "Uncle, why are you here looking for me?"

Liu Ting hesitated for a moment, and asked, "I heard that you posted a recruitment letter in the county seat to recruit people who can farm?"

Mu Yangling nodded.

Liu Ting was silent for a while, and asked, "How can one be considered a farmer?"

"Uncle is someone who knows how to farm?" Mu Yangling knew that many people disagreed with his point of view, so he explained: "But I think planting is also skilled, from leveling the land to planting, and then to fertilizing in the middle , watering, harvesting, different methods have different harvests, I want to find a better method for a crop, this belongs to the improvement of planting technology, and seeds, I think seeds can be cultivated, "Mu Yang Seeing that Liu Ting listened seriously, he slowed down and said, "Now the rice seeds are not drought-tolerant, nor high-yielding, with short spikes and low plants. of rice."

Liu Ting frowned, puzzled flashed in his eyes, "But the seeds are all left over from the previous generation, how... how to cultivate them? You can't put the magic into the seeds like the practice, and the only way to get high yield is Do your best to work carefully, fertilize the land, and be careful when fertilizing to ensure water..."

The more Liu Ting spoke, the more discouraged he became, and said, "This is not a fruit tree, it can still be grafted."

Mu Yangling's eyes lit up. She couldn't explain the concepts of heredity and hybridization to him, but survival of the fittest could also be an explanation.

Mu Yangling entered the room and took out a handful of rice seeds and put them on the table, "Look, uncle, these are harvested from my field this year."

Liu Ting peeled a grain of millet, chewed it in his mouth, nodded and said: "It's delicious, full and fragrant, and you can receive such good millet in such a dry day. It seems that you are very dedicated, but I remember that At that time, most of the rice in your field hadn't headed?"

Doubt flashed in Liu Ting's eyes, did he remember wrongly?

Mu Yangling smiled and said, "A total of 108 catties of rice have been harvested from ten acres."

Liu Ting's face darkened, this output...

"But these millets all grew in the dry fields. The nearby rice didn't even pick out the ears, or they didn't even form grains, but they just endured the drought. Uncle, you said that its descendants Can it also withstand drought?"

Liu Ting was startled, and began to think seriously.

"I think this kind of seed is just like human beings, not only the survival of the fittest, but also the inheritance of the superior gene, so I plan to do an experiment with these seeds in the spring of next year."

"What if these seeds are not drought-tolerant?"

"There will always be earing and fruiting, right? At that time, we will select the winners, but this only guarantees the drought, we must also ensure high yields, so uncle, I plan to go into the field next year and take a closer look to see if there are any ears that are particularly long. If there are too many grains, save them for seeds.”

"But how do you turn two seeds into one?" Liu Ting widened his eyes and said, "They can't mate..."

Mu Yangling suddenly smiled brightly, and Liu Ting was dumbfounded, "You, what is going on in your head? This rice can also mate?" He said to himself: "That's right, that ear is Flowers need to be sown to be filled with grain, so how do you pay them?"

Seeing Ah Ling staring at him with piercing eyes, Liu Ting stretched out his hand and slapped himself. See what he said in front of the child? I'm so ashamed to death, right?

Mu Yangling didn't expect Liu Ting to think of this step, and said happily: "Uncle, you can help me, you don't have to worry about the things in the field, when the time comes, I will invite people to work in the field, and the rest of us will concentrate on it." Make those few acres of experimental fields."

Liu Ting shook his head, "It won't take long even if we go around there a day, Ah Ling, your cousin has more ideas than me, so it's fine for me and him to help you, let's remove the list. Isn't it a waste of money?"

"No, you alone are not enough. We should recruit a few more people and brainstorm, maybe we can come up with more ideas."

The main reason is that she doesn't know much about some things. Although she has read two agricultural books this year, she still doesn't understand many things, so she has to learn and explore from scratch step by step.

"But if the person is not from our place, it is not convenient to come to your place to work."

"There will always be a way. The old house next door is still vacant. At worst, people can live there."

"Don't Zhang Wu and Zhang Liu live there?"

"They moved to Hanzhong Mansion. I asked them to visit the cattle farm. Even if they come back, they can live in it. The old house is not small. Our family used to live there too."

Liu Ting still wanted to object, but there was a knock on the door outside, and someone shouted, "Is anyone home?"

Liu Ting could only stop and wait for Mu Yangling to go out and open the door.
